Hey guys,

I had plenty of dreams and aspirations, but due to discovering a leak from the head gasket - which was discovered a couple of days after I purchased the car - I don't have the funds to repair/maintain it, also and the CV joints (i think) needing replacement soon,

PLUS! a bodged-up ankle surgery which is currently being disputed, I havent got the funds on hand to repair it. I still drive this as a daily to and from work which is around 10km each way.. and the occasional trip to sydney and back.. and always keeping an eye on the oil/water.

I would love to see it repaired and get it where it should be. Otherwise, I will probably just drive it to the ground.

The interior is mint! for a car that is almost 20 years, the leather and carpet is fantastic. No cracks on dash, and all electrics in dash work too.

$2000

Located in Banks

0432808254

Specs:

1992 Lexus LS400

1UZFE (V8)

Rego til 8/11

150,xxx km

Two-tone silver/grey

Moonroof

Blue leather interior (excellent condition! Currently have seat covers on them to save them as much as I can)

Previous owner had the 100k service done:

Major service performed including 8 Iridium plugs again with the bank loan

Timing belt & Waterpump anyone with experience with a 1uz will tell you this is a kent of a job & well requires a small bank loan lol.

Twin Tig welded 2 1/4 inch exhaust fitted with aftermarket cats, still has 4 mufflers so quiet at idle but opens up nicely under load.

KYB shocks & King Low shocks fitted

NRMA battery the thing could start a truck.

4 BF Goodrich tyres fitted in the last ~1500km

Rear brake pads machined last month

Car has factory climate control aircon (LCD screen running)

6 stacker CD player, factory first aid kit & original Lexus Tool Kit, spare tyre has never been used or the cigarette lighter.

Drivers seat & steering wheel showing signs of age but still better then most imported Celsiors I have seen. Ie the seat is not torn and comes up ok with a bit of leather polish the rest of the interior is mint.

There is also some car park dings on the rear passenger door. I'll post pics asap.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
